Late Wednesday President Andry Rajoelina took to Twitter to say he had a successful talk with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and that the WHO will sign a confidentiality clause on the formulation of Covid Organics (CVO) – an herbal beverage Rajoelina has claimed could prevent or cure the virus – and will support clinical observations in Africa.

The problem being that if it is a plant unique to Madagascar and the entire world suddenly needs it, it will be wiped out within a few months if they retain exclusivity or else they will end up damaging their island trying to produce enough.

Black Walnut Liquor
Black Walnut tincture is absolutely the more rancid horrible tasting stuff.
The minute the put it in your mouth it tastes like poison. I do believe it works though.
I found a way to make it absolutely tolerable. Trust me on this. Amazon, or other retailers sell an empty gelatin capsule.
You open the capsule, and can fill it with whatever you want. If you get the Black Walnut tincture with a dropper, you can easily fill the capsule with it and swallow it without having to taste any of it.

Definitely a consideration.. Particularly with any sort of "urgent" situation.
I do believe we could rather easily grow our own in controlled environments though. A lot of this stuff is extraordinarily powerful medicine that just tends to get synthesized for patents and profit.
I also believe there is an additional component that comes from growing your own medicine, but thats just the hippie in me.
As for the WHO.. Well, no idea why anyone trusts them at this point. Historically though, they have been kinda strange about anything involving artemesia annua, artemisinin, ACT, etc.

I wasnt talking about artemesia annua though. Its not rare or particularly hard to grow.
There are plenty of others where that is not the case though, undoubtedly including some that we havent discovered yet.

No matter how long I have used it, every time I get a little taste of it, it still shocks me.
Some people say they actually like the taste. I imagine those are the same people that were fond
of the original Absinthe liquor or something.
''We have offered to support the design of a study to look into this product,''
Madagascar has sent CVO to several African countries including Comoros, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Niger, Tanzania, Nigeria, Senegal, and Chad.
Rajoelina also said Madagascar will send CVO to Haiti and scientific bodies.

Upon co-challenge with the virus, these natural compounds effectively prevent the early stage of HCoV-22E9 infection, including viral attachment and penetration. Extracts from Lycoris radiata (石蒜 Shí Suàn), Artemisia annua (黃花蒿 Huáng Huā Hāo), Pyrrosia lingua (石葦 Shí Wěi), and Lindera aggregata (烏藥 Wū Yào) have also been documented to display anti–SARS-CoV effect from a screening analysis using hundreds of Chinese medicinal herbs.[15]
As shown in Fig. 1 , four of the extracts, Lycoris radiata, Artemisia annua, Pyrrosia lingua, and Lindera aggregata exhibited significant inhibition effects on virus-induced CPE when SARS-CoV strain BJ001 was used in screening. A dose dependency of antiviral activities was determined by serial dilutions of compounds.
but if it's been around for a long, long time and it was cast aside by the medical community in favor of meds that have been studied, peer reviewed and made it through the approval process, why would anyone waste money on it?
The WHO warns that the drink's efficacy as a treatment for COVID-19 is unproven, while the African Union is seeking technical data from Madagascar and has asserted that there will be a scientific review based on "global technical and ethical norms."
